I spent time this week with Joplin.

Why I won't be using it:

* If I live in Markdown, I want to edit it WYSIWYG. Maybe that's wrong, but I don't want to live in .md code mode (for this reason, I miss Evernote). I author in Typora, but I don't want to keep notes in MD.

* It's sync-ing options don't map to the most used syncing tech on desktops these days. I'd have to pay for Dropbox (given my current ecosystem) just to use it to sync.

* I want folders and sub-folders. Folders and tags don't work for me.

* I wish these systems had a built-in journal mode, like Roam.

- Joplin has a rich editor

- If you talk about google drive, you can use the file system sync and sync from there

- you can create notebooks and sub-notebooks

If you are still on the search, there is a great list: https://old.reddit.com/r/Evernote/comments/j87fb9/please_hel...
